Moro Maukuska

Namibia has a long coastline and beautifully rough beaches. The Swakopmund beach and pier is quite popular . W ell, maybe not during the Winter months . B ut the seagulls had enjoyed a nice clam buffet ... North of Swakopmund is the long Skeleton Coast and its famous shipwrecks. A group of cormorants had turned this wreck into their home.

Another antelope species we saw quite often during our roadtrip in Namibia was the springbok.

We saw oryx so often that I almost forgot to take pictures of them!

One of our favorite campsites in Namibia was Madisa in the Damaraland. The campsite is shaded, it's private, and you have a braai area, running water and your own toilet and shower. There are baboons and jackals, and t he desert elephants pass through, so be prepared! Our camp deck shower and toilet and the surrounding scenery We lit candles as there was no electricity and they gave a nice, warm glow aft er the sun had set.

We stayed at several campsites during our roadtrip in Namibia, and we saw some of the most beautiful sunsets at Namib Naukluft Lodge's campsite. The colours were amazing; they shifted from pink to orange to red to purple and everything in between. After the sun had set there was a lovely warm red glow for a few minutes, but we couldn't stop to enjoy that for too long as we had to make sure we had everything ready for when it got pitch black.

We hadn't seen jackals up close before, so it was super when this one came so near . It also had a sweetly sly way of pretending not to be interested in us...
